Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenHot, gooey and very, very tasty
Servings: 12-15 rolls
Prep Time: 1 hour 20 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Difficulty: Moderate
Dough:
1/4 ounce package yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup scalded milk
1/3 cup butter or shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
Filling:
1/2 cup melted butter, plus more for the pan
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins, walnuts, or pecans (optional)
Glaze:
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-6 tablespoons of hot water
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs. Add two cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl and let rise until doubled, usually 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
When doubled, punch down dough. Roll out on flour surface into a 15x9 inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at 15 inch side role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12-15 slices. Coat bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until nicely browned.
Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.

Nothing says goodmorning like waking up to the smells of (not necessarly at the same time) coffee, bacon, and cinnimon. Great flavor. I liked these better than Cinnabuns (spelling ?) at the mall. However, my hubby and myself are on cholesterol medication. He started out about 20 years ago with the number at 324. Doctor put him on meds due to he won't give up foods like this. I'm paraplegic and I've been on all kinds of meds over the past 17 years. I was getting blood clots in my legs a lot, so I have to be very careful. All things in moderation! No offense, but I'm looking forward to seeing your sons new show. Thanks for the memories and I will be eating your way from time to time.

Paula, I just wanted you to know that I have made these three or four times now. It's to much for my husband and I, so I give them to neighbor's. I also will be giving these as gift's as well. I'm not too art'szee crafty, if you know what I mean. Merry Christmas Ya'll The Iverson's Randy & Joy (Whisper) Sending Paw's and much Love from our kitchen to your's.

I have made these many times over the past several years. Everyone that has tried them absolutley loves them and always ask for more. I do back off on the sugar a bit such as not putting any in the pan and less in the filling too. These are simply the best cinnamon rolls I have ever tasted. Also this recioe can be used for yeast rolls for dinner. Once again back off on the sugar...add just enough to help the yeast and of course delet the filling and topping. Wonderful Paula...Thank you!

to let dough rise you need to put it in a DRAFT-FREE, WARM place. the yeast will not activate(to let it rise)in the cold.

I'm a beginner baker, so I don't know the tricks of the trade. This recipe does not say if I should refrigerate the dough to let it rise or just sit on the counter and let it do it's things. I put it in the refrigerator to be on the safe side (because I know there is a raw egg in the mix)... I hope this doesn't ruin my rolls! HELP! :/

Hi Faith, You'll want to use all-purpose flour.

Just wanted to say that I love you, your family, your recipes and your shows. I agree with you about Mr. Bourdain. He needs to go live in a snake, beetle and roach infested island and pig out. His show makes me want to throw up !!! Keep up the good work !!!! Can't wait for the new season though. Getting tired of reruns for all the shows. Bring it on !!!
By Linda Shrum on August 24, 2011
I THINK I'M GOING TO TRY THEM (;
By sandra on August 24, 2011
Made these and they are awesome! Actually only made 9, feeling a little guilty.
Would like to make mini ones next time, bet I could get 30. Does anyone know if you can freeze these? (Without glaze of course) Freeze baked or unbaked?
